There was a book written, IIRC, about 7-10 years back about the decline of empires throughout history. It talked about the British empire, the Roman empire, and the American empire, and how there appeared to be a "normal" limit of approx 250 years for an empire to exist before it falls apart.
I'm trying to find the title of the book as I never got a chance to read it. I believe the author had a hindu/pakistani-type name, but I'm not 100% certain.
Anyone know the book I'm talking about?
